THE DEATH OF LULU.


Lulu's at rest in the arms of her Saviour,
Who said, "Suffer little children to come unto me."
Sweet bud of bright promise resting so sweetly
With Jesus in glorious immortality.

Transplanted to Heaven this bud of sweet beauty
Ere blossomed on earth to a full blooming flower;
Its perfume and beauty fill the portals of Heaven,
Around the bright throne in its beautiful bower.

God's mysteries, mother, we may never discover,
Till called from this earth where all is revealed;
While resting our faith in our kind, gentle Saviour,
Our trust in sweet Heaven forever is sealed.
